Are you talking about the pressure I described?

What you're describing sound like labor.  If you're already 5cm, you shouldn't really wait.  You wouldn't want to have the baby in the car in this cold weather.  Good luck. Hope it all goes well for you and your little one.

I'm 35 weeks in 9 min. But yea I'm just really nervous and don't want to go all the way there for no reason. If things start to get worse I will though. I'm a ftm & don't really know what means what yet lol. Can anybody tell me of I should ignore pressure in my stomach? It has been like this all day & feels like my stomach is pressuring down

I just went through this about 2 days ago. I freak out with every pain and this is my 3rd baby! Lol if you feel like you're contracting and it's not braxton hicks then I would go in. Its better to be safe than sorry! I get worried too. I start cramping really bad even if u stand or walk for a little . just try to relax. Drink cold water and lay on your left side . things should start easing up .

I'd go in just in case. If you're not sure, they will be. It's better to be safe than sorry. How far along are you?

Sometimes it's hard to tell if I'm having contractions though like I mainly feel horrible cramps but I'm still confused if that's a contraction. Even when I was dilated to a 5 I could still bare the pain so idk what pain is bad enough to go. & I don't want to wait till its too late to get epidural if I wanted it ugh!!! I'm just confused
